Liz Alderman is the chief European business correspondent for the Paris-based International New York Times.

Since 2010, she has covered economic, social and political shifts in crisis-hit countries across Europe. From Greece to France, and many countries in between, she has chronicled the fallout from weak economies, austerity policies and high unemployment as well as their political challenges. Her reporting has included Europe’s refugee crisis and the Paris terrorist attacks. Along the way, she has profiled numerous European movers and shakers in policy making and business.

In 2013, Ms. Alderman was the recipient of The Times’s Nathaniel Nash Award for her “excellence in business and economics journalism.” Ms. Alderman was also part of a team that received an award from The Society of American Business Editors and Writers (SABEW) for international breaking news coverage of the financial crisis in Cyprus in 2013.

From 2008 to 2010, she was an assistant business editor for The Times, editing coverage of Wall Street and the tumult of the financial crisis in the United States. She came to The Times following five years as the business editor of The Herald Tribune, where she directed international economic, policy and business news coverage and was a frequent commentator for news organizations.

Before joining The Times, Ms. Alderman was the Paris bureau chief of the financial news agency BridgeNews, helping to direct coverage of the birth of the euro and the European Central Bank. She also covered the euro zone and the French economy. Before that, she was the chief Federal Reserve correspondent from 1995 to 1999 in Washington, D.C., reporting on the American economy and monetary policy.
